In Training



When people ask me my major and I say engineering; almost everyone assumes that I am brilliant in calculus and I can solve calculus 4 questions with my eyes closed. Even worse when I say I am in chemical engineering I have had numerous people ask me if I will be making bombs or if I will be mixing chemicals in the lab. That led me to ask myself what the main take home message was from my entire undergrad career.  The answer came to me when I was working (as a waitress at my part-time job). There was a problem at work, the sugar holders were nearly empty and needed to get filled up however the cover was jammed..no force I applied could open it. I even asked for back up lol. I thought of the problem, I thought of the constraints and I thought of what needed to be done. To make a long story short, I managed to fill up the sugar holders without having to open them. Then is when it hit me, we learn problem solving!!! That is the main take home message from engineering.  You apply all the physics, chemistry, math and sometimes biological rules to solve a problem.

Isn't Christianity the same thing! Being a Christian doesn't make you a walking talking bible. It doesn't make you the world’s best preacher. By walking day today with God, you learn one take home message. The message of the Gospel! When living out your Christian life you apply the Gospel as it is suitable in each situation.  The take home message revolves around love, forgiveness, mercy, reconciliation, redemption and so many more. Don’t’ these things have place in our lives and our hearts? If they don’t yet, we are not getting the main message; we do not understand why Jesus had to come down in flesh to die for us! Sometimes, just spitting out bible verses doesn't make some things better. Living the verses out however makes a huge difference.  Sometimes listening to an anointed preacher is not the only solution, taking the word God gave us to heart and actually doing something about it will be key to solving the problem. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22

Notes
  • Mere theory won’t get you anywhere without action
  • Memorizing the word could be one of the steps for growth but it’s not the only step
  • What was the main take home message of the Gospel? Love God has for us and how we should live accordingly!

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
